In '67, I was a student and had a Mini-Van. As I recall, that amount would have got me about a gall. and a half of petrol, or nearly 70 miles from the 850cc engine. I could fill the tank for a quid -------------. Oh those marvellous Sixties!!

Wouldn't go that way Ernie-5p in 1955 is now worth the princely sum of £2:49 according to my then and now programme!-probably around £7.50 to £10:00 would be nearer to the true price of a crawl about K7 and a seat in the cockpit I think.
Pity K7 isn't a two seater-I'd happily pay a couple of hundred quid for a quick 100mph dash down Coniston!

As my dear old ex-Bomber Command grandad used to sing, to the tune of 'John Brown's Body'-

'We can fly a Flying Fortress up to thirty thousand feet
We can fly a Flying Fortress up to thirty thousand feet
We can fly a Flying Fortress up to thirty thousand feet
But we only carry a teeny weeny bomb
Glory, glory shall we drop it?
Glory, glory shall we drop it?
Glory, glory shall we drop it?
Shall we drop our teeny weeny bomb?'
